Description Culture of fish in cage is a popular method of rearing the fish along the
coastal areas. Site selection and water quality is one of the most important factors
that determine the success and failures of cage culture system. It also determines
the cost of production and survival of the system in the long run. Controlling
water quality parameters in open water cage culture systems is an impractical;
therefore, culture of any species must be established in the sites having adequate
water quality and frequent exchange. Before establishing a cage culture site, it is
foremost important to conduct a field survey for gaining prior knowledge on the
environmental/ hydro-biological parameters of the site so as to ascertain that the
water body chosen will support the increased biological demand due to cage
culture activities in due course of time.
